About Me

Born and raised in England but never wanting to stay still, I crossed the Venezuelan border into Brazil in 2009 and never looked back. After a year living in Rio I decided to be a mercenary in the Saudi Arabian desert. A year later I was back in cidade maravilhosa, and I'm here to stay. Vocês sejam bem-vindos no meu sofá, it's ready to be surfed!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I found out about Couch Surfing whilst travelling in South America. I've hosted a few people and it's been great, I intend to do some couchsurfing myself in the future.

I'm looking to meet likeminded people, not to save money.

Interests

Being out of my comfort zone, meeting new people and seeing new places, being obsessive about sport and music. Pretending to be a Carioca. Trying not to get sun burnt (getting sun burnt). Swimming. Eating. Reading. Cooking. The occasional drink. Having a lack of routine
